I know my posts are typically very light and full of sarcasm but it is with deep seriousness that I bring this particular blog post to you. My recent online absence has been a result of enjoying a lovely visit from a family friend and then his unfortunate and untimely death while he was here. He died of "accidental/natural" causes and I truly believe that everything in the Universe happens in it's right order, even if it doesn't make sense to us. What do we know? We're only human after all...

Unhappy patient in the waiting room.

Unhappy patient in Dr. Franklin's chair.

 Despite the frown, my youngest Reef-Rat's visit to a local dentist last week was quick and painless. We only waited 10 minutes to be seen. (Which is very quick here!) Dr. Franklin Hernandez checked and cleaned her teeth in about 20 minutes total. (Which scares me a little, I'm not going to lie!) Just the same, she had no major issues and he suggested another check-up in 2 months time. Fair enough, this was painless for me as well; the office visit and cleaning only cost $50 BZ! You won't see that in North America.
